Resansman 25
1 Pandan Israël te rete nan Sittim, pèp la te kòmanse pwostitiye tèt yo avèk fi Moab yo.
Now Israel, at that time, dwelt in Shittim, and the people were fornicating with the daughters of Moab,
2 Paske yo te envite pèp la pou vini nan sakrifis dye pa yo. Pèp la te manje, e te bese devan dye yo a.
who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate, and they adored their gods.
3 Konsa, Israël te vin jwenn yo menm avèk Baal Peor, e SENYÈ a te vin fache kont Israël.
And Israel was initiated into Baal of Peor. And so the Lord, being angry,
4 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pran tout chèf a pèp la e touye yo gwo lajounen devan SENYÈ a, pou gran kòlè a SENYÈ a kapab vire kite Israël.”
said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people, and hang them on gallows against the sun, so that my fury may be averted from Israel.”
5 Konsa, Moïse te di a jij Israël yo: “Chak nan nou va touye pwòp mesye pa li ki te jwenn yo mem avèk Baal Peor la.”
And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Let each one kill his neighbors, who have been initiated into Baal of Peor.”
6 Alò, vwala, youn nan fis Israël yo te vini pou te mennen bay a fanmi li yo yon fanm Madyanit, devan zye Moïse e devan zye a tout kongregasyon fis Israël yo, pandan yo tout t ap kriye devan pòtay tant asanble a.
And behold, one of the sons of Israel entered, in the sight of his brothers, to a prostitute of Midian, within view of Moses and of all the crowd of the sons of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle.
7 Lè Phinées, fis Éléazar, fis a Aaron, prèt la, te wè sa, li te leve nan mitan kongregasyon an. Li te pran yon frenn nan men l,
And when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, had seen it, he rose up from the midst of the multitude, and, seizing a dagger,
8 epi li te ale dèyè Izrayelit la nan tant lan e li te frennen tranche kò yo toulède nèt, mesye Israël la ak fanm nan. Konsa gwo epidemi sou fis Israël yo te vin sispann.
he entered after the Israelite man, into the brothel, and he pierced both of them at the same time, specifically, the man and the woman at the location of their genitals. And the scourge ceased from among the sons of Israel.
9 Sila ki te mouri yo akoz gwo epidemi an se te venn-kat-mil.
And there were slain twenty-four thousand men.
10 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
And the Lord said to Moses:
11 “Phinées, fis a Éléazar, fis a Aaron, prèt la, te fè detounen kòlè Mwen vè fis Israël yo, akoz li te jalou avèk jalouzi pa Mwen an pami yo; epi konsa, Mwen pa t detwi fis Israël yo nan jalouzi pa Mwen an.
“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has averted my wrath from the sons of Israel. For he was moved against them by my zeal, so that I myself, in my zeal, might not wipe away the sons of Israel.
12 “Pou sa pale: ‘Gade byen, Mwen bay li akò lapè Mwen.
Because of this, say to him: Behold, I give to him the peace of my covenant.
13 Li va pou li avèk desandan apre li yo, yon akò pozisyon prèt pou tout tan, akoz ke li te jalou pou Bondye li a, e li te fè ekspiyasyon pou fis Israël yo.’”
And the covenant of the everlasting priesthood shall be as much for him as for his offspring. For he was zealous on behalf of his God, and he has made expiation for the wickedness of the sons of Israel.”
14 Alò, non a Izrayelit ki te touye avèk fanm Madyanit la se te Zimri, fis Salu, yon chèf kay pami Simeyonit yo.
Now the name of the Israelite man, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader from the kinship and tribe of Simeon.
15 Non a fanm Madyanit ki te touye a se te Cozbi, fi a Zur, ki te chèf kay zansèt a yon pèp nan Madian.
Moreover, the Midianite woman, who was put to death together with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Zur, a most noble leader among the Midianites.
16 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 “Se pou ou vin mechan avèk Madyanit yo, e frape yo;
“Let the Midianites perceive you as enemies, and strike them down,
18 paske yo te mechan avèk nou avèk riz pa yo, avèk sila, yo twonpe nou nan zafè Peor la ak nan zafè Cozbi a, fi a chèf Madian an, sè ki te touye nan jou gwo epidemi an pou koz a Peor a.”
for they, too, have behaved with hostility against you, and they have deceived you insidiously by means of the idol Peor, and by Cozbi, the daughter of a commander of Midian, their sister, who was struck down in the day of the scourge because of the sacrilege of Peor.”
